Lever's integration with Indeed Job Feed and Indeed Apply allows your team to create jobs in Lever and send them directly to Indeed via a multisource XML feed. This ensures that your most up-to-date job content is available in their free search results, reaching over 250 million unique visitors monthly and sites in over 60 countries. Indeed Apply significantly increases your team's candidate pool by directly providing a fast, mobile-friendly, modern application experience on Indeed. On average, 50% of job seekers abandon applications that take longer than ten minutes. The Indeed Apply integration provides a candidate-friendly application experience on Indeed, boosting applications by up to 4X.

Important Indeed ChangesIndeed is making important changes to how jobs are delivered to Indeed to help improve job seeker experience and employer outcomes. Starting March 31, 2026, jobs delivered through Single Source feeds will no longer be eligible for organic visibility if those jobs can be delivered through an integrated ATS feed with Indeed Apply. Q&AQ. What does this mean for me? A. If your jobs are currently delivered via a Single Source Feed, you are encouraged to migrate to the Lever ATS integration with Indeed Apply as soon as possible. Jobs not migrated will be eligible for visibility only when sponsored. Q. What is a Single Source Feed, and how do I know if I am using one? A. A Single Source feed is a method of delivering job postings to Indeed in which all jobs for a particular employer or client are provided through a dedicated feed for that employer, rather than being aggregated directly from the Multisource Feed on your ATS. Q. My ATS already has a Multisource Feed integration with Indeed. Will my Multisource Feed be affected? A. No. Your Multisource Feed will not be affected. This policy applies only to employers currently using a Single Source XML instead of sending their jobs via an ATS Multisource Feed. Q. Who should I work with to migrate to our integrated feed? A. Following the steps outlined below will enable the Multisource Feed for your jobs through Lever ATS. If you need further assistance, please submit a Help Center ticket. Q. Will there be any lapse in job posting visibility with this migration? A. As soon as your jobs are approved by Indeed when enabling the Lever Indeed integration (multi-source XML feed), they should replace the positions that were posted from the previous single-source feed. However, please work directly with your Indeed Client Services Rep to confirm this timeline, as their team determines how the jobs are posted once ingested. Please note that Indeed's QA team can take up to 30 business days to review a new feed request. We recommend connecting the Lever Indeed integration ASAP to prevent any lapse in job visibility. If you do not have an assigned Client Services rep, click here to contact Indeed Support. |
Enabling the Indeed Job Feed and Indeed Apply Integration
|
|
You must have an Employer account on Indeed to use this integration. You will need to know your company's employer name as it appears on Indeed and the email address associated with your organization's Indeed Employer account to complete this integration setup. |
- Navigate to Settings > Integrations and API, scroll to the Job boards section, and click the Indeed toggle.
- If you wish to allow candidates to apply to job postings with their Indeed resume without leaving Indeed, select the Enable Indeed Apply for all jobs checkbox.
NOTE: Updating this configuration option can take up to six hours for the change to be reflected on Indeed. If you leave this option unselected, your open external job postings will still be published to Indeed when the integration is enabled. Jump to the section of this article on candidate applications for more information. - Enter your organization's name as it appears on your Indeed Employer account in the Company Name field; this can be found on your organization's Indeed landing page.
NOTE: Only enter one name in this field. Entering more than one name in this field can cause processing issues on Indeed. *This field cannot be left blank. - Enter the email address associated with your Indeed Employer account in the Email Address field; this can be found in your Indeed account settings.
NOTE: Only enter one email address in this field. Ensure you use the correct email address, as you will not receive a confirmation email when enabling this integration. - Click Done.

The Indeed integration cannot be enabled on a per-job basis. Once enabled, all open external postings in your LeverTRM instance will be published to Indeed. |
When enabling the integration for the first time, Indeed may take up to 30 business days to review and approve your job data before the integration becomes active. Indeed's review processing time begins once your Lever account has external (i.e., public) postings with job descriptions. In most cases, you will not need to take any action to verify your account, but Indeed Client Services may contact you if any issues occur.
Posting Jobs Directly to Indeed
Once the integration has been enabled, all of your existing open, externally visible postings will be published on Indeed, provided they meet Indeed’s terms, conditions, quality standards, and usage limits. Indeed will also appear as a job board option in the posting editor when creating and updating job postings. Publishing new postings (and updates to existing postings) can take up to six hours to be reflected on Indeed.
Keep in mind that Indeed will only show Lever job postings that have been configured for external distribution. Unlisted, draft, and internal-only postings are excluded from the Indeed job feed until they are externally available. To check the posting distribution, click the posting state menu at the top of the posting editor.
How Indeed Ingests Job Postings from Lever
When ingesting a posting from Lever, Indeed reads the following fields from the posting:
- Job title
- Location type
- Location
- Department/team
- Salary range
- Job description
- Custom application questions
The contents of these fields will dictate the search criteria by which the posting will be discoverable on Indeed. For information you can include in these fields, refer to our help article on creating job postings.
How Indeed ingests multi-location postings from Lever
If you use Lever’s Indeed multisource XML Integration, jobs will be published from Lever to Indeed with no additional steps. If you are not using the Lever Indeed integration, please speak with your Indeed Account rep to discuss ingestion of multi-location postings.
A multi-location job will be distributed as individual postings for each location. For example, if you have a multi-location job in Lever advertised in New York, New York, and Austin, Texas, Indeed will distribute it as two separate jobs - one posting for each location.
When applicants apply to either job, they’ll be redirected to your job site to apply for the same job initially advertised.
If you use Indeed Apply (where applicants complete the application within Indeed), the preferred location question will appear in the application form. This preferred location question can be made mandatory or not mandatory - learn more in our help article on creating and managing multi-location postings.
Candidates Applying via Indeed
If you disabled Indeed Apply during integration configuration (see above), your open external job postings will still be sent to Indeed. Visitors to your Indeed job postings will be redirected to the application on your Lever job site. When Indeed Apply is enabled, visitors to your job postings on Indeed can complete their application directly on Indeed via the Apply Now option on the job listing.
Candidates applying via the Apply Now button will be prompted to submit a resume (required or optional, depending on your Lever Job Site settings) and to respond to any custom questions you have added to the posting in Lever.
When the integration is enabled, job seekers can also view your postings in the Indeed app or on the Indeed site in their browser on mobile devices for a seamless, mobile-friendly application experience.
Candidates who apply to job postings via Indeed will have opportunities added to the Applicant section of your pipeline. The opportunity will originate from Applied. The primary source tag on the opportunity will be Indeed. If the candidate applied via the Apply Now button, the secondary source tag Indeed Apply will be added to the opportunity. If a candidate applies to a promoted posting or via a targeted advertisement, the tags Indeed Sponsored and Indeed Targeted Ad will be added, respectively.

NOTE: With the Spring 2025 release, Indeed Apply enables EEO surveys when a candidate applies via Indeed Apply. |
Frequently Asked Questions
Click to reveal answers to commonly asked questions about the Indeed integration, listed below:
How long does it take for a posting to appear on Indeed?
When enabling the integration for the first time, it takes up to 30 business days for your existing postings to appear on Indeed, as Indeed verifies the content and alignment of your job feed data. Once Indeed has verified your job feed data, new postings and updates to existing postings (including removing closed or unlisted postings) should be published on Indeed every six hours. If you have any questions regarding your jobs appearing on Indeed, please contact your Indeed representative for assistance.
How can I configure salary information for job postings pushed to Indeed?
You can also include a salary range along with a description. You must enter the minimum and maximum amounts, the currency, and the payment interval. LinkedIn and Indeed do not accept salary descriptions in their salary fields. If the salary description field is populated, it will be appended to the actual job description on these job boards. Certain time intervals will prevent your posting from being pushed to job boards. LinkedIn does not support 'bi-monthly' as a salary range. Indeed does not support semi-monthly, bimonthly, one-time, or biweekly. Refer to our help article on configuring salary range information for job board ingestion.
What should I do if I cannot find my job on Indeed?
If you are unable to find your job on Indeed and it has been at least fifteen days since the integration was enabled, proceed with the following troubleshooting steps:
- Read through Indeed’s Trust and Safety Policy Guidelines to ensure your jobs comply with Indeed's posting policies.
- Log in to your Indeed account to see if you can post your job(s) directly on Indeed. If so, you must close out that posting and contact your Indeed representative to ensure your jobs will begin receiving visibility through the Lever feed.
- Within your Indeed account, you can convert your jobs from a previous feed to an Indeed direct-posted job. In this case, you will also need to work with your Indeed representative to ensure visibility in the Lever feed.
If you still cannot find your job on Indeed and/or need help navigating the above Indeed features, please contact your Indeed representative. If you do not have an Indeed representative, use the instructions on this form to contact Indeed support.
I have job listings in multiple countries/regions. Why am I only seeing some of my Lever postings appear on Indeed?
Lever sends all your externally published postings to Indeed in a single feed file. However, Indeed’s listings are country-specific. This means that if you have Lever postings that span countries/regions (e.g., some posting locations in the US, others in Canada), they will be accessible on separate Indeed pages. For example, your Canada-based postings would be accessible on Indeed Canada (https://ca.indeed.com/cmp/(YOURCOMPANYNAME)/jobs ), and your US-based postings would be accessible at https://www.indeed.com/cmp/(YOURCOMPANYNAME)/jobs. You can view specific region/country listings by editing the URL of the Indeed page you are viewing.
Can I push job postings from a single Lever instance to the Indeed pages of specific subsidiaries?
No. Lever sends all your externally published postings to Indeed in a single feed file. As a result, all postings from your Lever instance can only be fed to a single Indeed page. We recommend contacting Indeed to inquire about redirecting postings from a single Lever instance to specific Indeed pages. Alternatively, you may consider setting up a separate Lever instance for each subsidiary.
What should I do if I still receive applications to my email inbox after enabling the integration?
Suppose you have already enabled the 'Enable Indeed Apply' feature in your Indeed account before enabling the Indeed Apply integration in Lever. Lever's integration will be overridden in that case, and applications will continue to be routed directly to your email inbox. To fix this so that applications are routed directly to Lever, you must disable the 'Enable Indeed Apply' feature in your Indeed account. Refer to Indeed's help article on the 'Enable Indeed Apply' feature to learn more.
Can I select specific jobs to post to Indeed?
No. The job feed data that Lever sends to Indeed is required to contain all open external job postings visible on your Lever job site. For this reason, it is not possible to exclude specific open external postings from publication to Indeed when the integration is enabled.
Can I enable Indeed Apply only for specific jobs?
No. At this time, Indeed Apply is an account-level configuration option and applies to all open external job postings when enabled.
What happens if I do not select 'Enable Indeed Apply for all jobs'?
When this option is disabled, new postings and posting updates are still published to Indeed. However, candidates viewing Indeed postings will be redirected to your Lever job site when they attempt to apply.
How does Indeed verify postings sent via Lever's job feed?
Indeed verifies postings by comparing the job feed sent from Lever to your public Lever job site. When running this comparison, Indeed will also check that each open external posting's location, as defined in Lever, can be matched to a valid location on Indeed. We recommend referring to Indeed's guidelines for entering job location information to troubleshoot cases where a location value cannot be matched appropriately.
Can I identify applicants who come through a sponsored Indeed post?
Yes. If you have enabled Indeed Apply, the tag 'Indeed Sponsored' will be added to the associated opportunity in Lever.
Can I sponsor a posting on Indeed directly from Lever?
No, not from directly within Lever. However, after setting up the integration in Lever, you can manage sponsored postings within your Employer Dashboard on Indeed. You can learn more about Indeed's Employer Dashboard features by contacting your Indeed client representative or reviewing Indeed's Employer Dashboard FAQ. The ability to sponsor postings directly from Lever is an enhancement our team is considering for a future release.
Will enabling this integration cause any issues with the Lever job postings that I currently have published on Indeed?
No. When you first enable this integration, your postings on Indeed will not change until Indeed’s team has completed reviewing and verifying your job feed from Lever. Only after their review is complete (30 business days) will they switch to updating your postings from your Lever job feed. This process prevents duplicate postings when the integration is enabled.
Do I need a paid Indeed account to have jobs cross-posted from Indeed to Glassdoor?
No. There are no fees or minimum obligations for Indeed-sponsored jobs to appear on Glassdoor. For more information, refer to our help article on our now-deprecated Glassdoor integration.
Will Indeed Apply capture candidates' consent to be contacted about future opportunities in compliance with GDPR?
Yes. Applicants will be asked to provide consent to be contacted for future opportunities if the GDPR compliance settings in your Lever environment have been configured to capture candidate consent. Note that, while your Lever-hosted job site can be configured to take a candidate's location into account to determine whether permission is required, the consent question will be required for all Indeed Apply applicants, as Lever does not have access to an Indeed applicant's location data at the time of application submission. For more information, refer to our help article on configuring GDPR compliance.
Will candidates applying through Indeed Apply be asked EEO and Diversity survey questions?
Candidates applying directly on Indeed will not see EEO or Diversity survey questions during the application process. If you have configured your Lever Settings such that EEO and Diversity survey questions are sent to candidates who do not apply through your Lever-hosted job site. Candidates who apply via Indeed Apply will be sent the EEO and/or Diversity survey questions when they reach the stage in your Lever pipeline defined in your configuration. To learn how to configure EEO and Diversity survey questions to be sent to applicants who do not apply through your Lever-hosted job site, check out the following help articles:
Indeed is asking me to opt into a "multisource XML feed." What do I do?
The Lever-built Indeed integration is a multi-source feed that meets Indeed's new requirements. You can enable this integration by navigating to https://hire.lever.co/settings/integrations and turning on the Indeed integration under the Job Boards section. The specific setup directions for the Indeed Job Board Feed can be found in the instructions above.
If Indeed is currently scraping my Lever job site to post my open jobs, will enabling this integration affect the scraping?
Yes. Within 30 days of enabling the integration, Indeed will stop scraping your Lever job site and instead use the integration to pull your jobs into Indeed. There will be no disruption in how your jobs appear on Indeed during this transition. Note that Indeed does not set up new scrapes of sites belonging to ATS partners for which there is a direct integration option. As such, if your Lever account was implemented in June 2022 or later, Indeed will not scrape your Lever job site even if you have not enabled the integration. For Lever accounts implemented before June 2022, if you enable the Indeed integration in Lever and then disable it later, Indeed will be unable to resume scraping of your Lever job site.
Will I incur fees from Indeed for using Lever's integration?
If you do not pay Indeed to advertise your jobs, you will not incur any new or additional fees from Indeed for using this integration. If you do pay Indeed for advertising, then, beginning in 2023, you may start to see charges from Indeed that are calculated per each ‘Apply Start’ (with 'Apply Start' being the point at which a candidate clicks Apply to begin an application, either via an off-site application or Indeed Apply). The 'Apply Start' charge applies to jobs sent to Indeed from any external source and is not specific to jobs from Lever's integration. Lever customers who do not have active advertising budgets with Indeed will not be required to pay for each 'Apply Start', whether they are using Indeed Apply or not.
